Tropical Storm Cristobal is churning in the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Before, model guidance was lacking on where direct impacts of this tropical system would end up, but now that it’s offshore, it’s become clearer that this system will have little direct impacts to Southeast Texas. We’ll keep a 30% chance for some scattered showers, few thunderstorms on Monday, as this system moves onshore in Louisiana, and a chance for some stronger waves along the Gulf Coast. Otherwise, this system isn’t going to impact our forecast much going forward!

Rainfall totals remain minimal to almost non-existent. However, the main story will be the hotter temperatures building in the Lone Star State on the backside of the tropical system. We’ll reach the middle 90’s by Monday and the upper 90’s to lower 100’s by Tuesday. Record Heat? We’ll chase a record heat of 100° set back in 1917 on Tuesday and could come close to tying or slightly breaking that record by a high of 98°-101° locally. Tropical moisture, and this system, clears out by midweek. While the heat sticks around, the humidity slacks up for the remainder of the week, as we dive into the nearing days of Summer 2020.

5-Day Weather Outlook:

Sunday: High 93. Low 75. Clouding, Warming.

Monday: High 96. Low 78. Mostly Sunny. 30% Chance/Rain.

Tuesday: High 98. Low 69. Mostly Sunny, Heat Caution.
